Haven't really found anything on this so I thought I would start one.
Swapping interior pieces step by step, piece by piece.
Not a big fan of leather or tan interior. Unfortunately, I have both.:(
I'm gonna be swapping it in slowly so I'm going to be updating this every week.
Started off with the simple Kick Panels in the front:
Remove the carpet, it'll make it easier-
Starting with the passenger side, remove the one screw holding it in-
Holding it from the bottom, pull it towards the front of the car and downwards-
Picture of the replacement piece-
Put it in the opposite of how you pulled the original piece out-
Replace the single screw-
Moving on to the driver side-
First things first, Remove the carpet-
Start removing the three twist screws holding in the knee bolster-
Pull the bolster towards you to get it free from the back pinch clips-
Some of you who still have the annoying door chime (which I do) will have to unplug the two connectors then it should pull right out-
Now you should have access to all the screws holding in the panel. Start by removing the center screw-
Now you need an 8mm socket to remove the two screws holding in the hood latch-
Now same with the passenger side panel, hold it from the bottom and pull it down and back-
Put in the replacement piece by doing the reverse off the removal-
Screw in the hood latch-
Screw in the center screw-
Now replace the knee bolster by first making sure that the back is pushed into the two pinch clips-
Now you can choose to reconnect the door chime, or leave it disconnected according to your personal preference (I reconnected it)-
Replace the three screw clips and you're done!
Considering this is my first write up, let me know what you guys think.
Next week I'll be doing the door cards.:)
